I love the 4 quarters and resetting team fouls at the beginning of each quarter. I knew it was going to be an improvement from watching women's basketball, but I really liked it watching this game. IMHO, it improves the flow of the game. No more free throw shooting contests with 10 minutes left to go. It changes the strategy of how a coach uses fouls, too.

Maybe I'm just not used to the rules, but I noticed that the game still went over 2 hours in clock duration. There seemed to be more commercials during the mid-quarter timeouts. I thought the 3 point shooting was terrible and think the extra distance messed with the players' minds. 4 quarters is fine because that is what we have in high school. I don't mind the free throws with the traditional rules because they are part of the game just like steals, assists and rebounding. I like seeing teams that are good at making them at crunch time (especially "one and one"). I'd rather see these experiments done in preseason exhibitions rather than in tournaments. JMO
